Where should a yellow or red label be affixed?

A yellow or red label is typically affixed to the control panel or another permanent location to ensure clear visibility and easy identification in case of an emergency or during maintenance activities. These labels serve as important indicators of the condition or status of the fire alarm system, alerting users to any issues that may require attention. The placement on the control panel means that anyone operating or inspecting the system can immediately see the label, which is crucial for safety and operational efficiency.

Other locations, such as a storage closet, the back of the system, or a maintenance log, may not offer the same level of immediate visibility or accessibility that is necessary for effective communication about system status. Therefore, affixing the label in a prominent, permanent spot like the control panel enhances the safety and response protocol for the fire alarm system.
